Wordreference.com is a fantastic site! It is a dictionary, but it is also a site with an online forum that will answer many of your questions of French language, grammar, and usage. You can type in questions that will be answered by a worldwide community of French experts, or just follow threads for questions that have already been discussed.
Laura Lawless has a great site where she teaches every concept from the most basic to the most complex. This could help you all through high school, college and beyond.
